A team from Capita Symonds has won a
place in the Intelligent Sport World Series Final
– the world’s most gruelling corporate challenge
event.
The Intelligent Sport World Series comprises
12 annual corporate challenge events on six continents, culminating
in December’s World Series Final where the top teams from each
event go head-to-head in the ultimate showcase of team
performance.
This year’s event is being held the Geopark
Naturtejo da Meseta Meridional in Central Portugal, close to the
Spanish border, and will see 30 elite teams from companies across
the USA, South Africa, Europe and the Far East taking part,
including the US Air Force.
Tom Davies, Capita Symonds’
Team leader says: “The event takes place over four stages - spread
over two days and nights - and is fast and furious from the outset.
The exact details are kept a secret until the teams arrive, but the
event is expected to include running, mountain biking, navigating
and strategising over the four stages. In addition, it is likely
that one of the stages will be a build stage, in which the teams
will have to use items of equipment issued to them to build a
machine or structure to perform a task. Previous tasks have
included constructing and racing roman chariots, building and using
rafts, and building a crane to retrieve eggs from an obstacle
course!”
